YAMAHA YQ502008 · 0.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 2008 Yamaha YQ50 was recorded on 2016-04-02, over 10 years ago. This indicates the vehicle has not undergone a mandatory safety inspection in more than a decade, raising significant concerns about its current condition. The last recorded mileage was 22,113 miles, which is unusually low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging just 1,228 miles annually. This suggests the bike may have been stored for extended periods, increasing the risk of component degradation, such as rubber seals, belts, or electrical systems. The MOT history reveals a single failure in 2014-03-22 for exhaust-related issues: the mounting did not fully support the exhaust system, and the exhaust was leaking and noisy. This defect was addressed, as the subsequent MOT on 2014-03-25 showed no defects. However, the 2016 MOT noted a "front tyre wearing odd," which could indicate alignment problems, suspension wear, or uneven load distribution. No other defects were recorded in the passes from 2013 to 2014, suggesting the vehicle was otherwise in good condition at that time. The pattern of defects is limited but highlights two key areas: exhaust system integrity and tyre wear. The 2014 exhaust failure was resolved, and there is no evidence of recurring issues in later tests.
